Comparative study of groundwater-induced subsidence for london and delhi using psinsar (2021)
Journal Article
Agarwal, V., Kumar, A., Gee, D., Grebby, S., Gomes, R. L., & Marsh, S. (2021). Comparative study of groundwater-induced subsidence for london and delhi using psinsar. Remote Sensing, 13(23), Article 4741. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs13234741

Groundwater variation can cause land-surface movement, which in turn can cause significant and recurrent harm to infrastructure and the water storage capacity of aquifers. The capital cities in the England (London) and India (Delhi) are witnessing an... Read More about Comparative study of groundwater-induced subsidence for london and delhi using psinsar.

This paper investigates the effect of heat treatment on porous glass microspheres produced via a novel flame spheroidization process, followed by exploring their suitability for dye removal from water. The effect of simple use of smaller porogen (≤5 ... Read More about Adsorption studies and effect of heat treatment on porous glass microspheres.

Numerical Modeling of the Effects of Channel Configurations and Inclination Angles Inducing Buoyancy on Reverse Osmosis (2021)
Journal Article
Zemour, N., Azzi, A., Rahli, O., Al-Sarkhi, A., & Gomes, R. L. (2021). Numerical Modeling of the Effects of Channel Configurations and Inclination Angles Inducing Buoyancy on Reverse Osmosis. Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 14(4), 1223-1236. https://doi.org/10.47176/jafm.14.04.32344

This numerical study presents a comparison between two different reverse osmosis channel configurations. The physical properties were considered in the computational model as a function of the solute mass fraction. A critical comparison was performed...
